What we practice, we become. There is a simplicity in this, isn’t there. It’s pithy at one level. It’s also deep-diving at another.
These three above — kindness, consciousness, flow — these are three that I rely on. Sometimes when I know exactly what I’m doing. I’m affirming such things. Sometimes, when I don’t know what I’m doing. When I’m looking for ground and a reset.
These three above. They are values. They are intentions. They are goals. They are practices.
I know these three values most through Toke. I can hear his voice at many events, claiming a simplicity and claiming a depth. Claiming human ways. Within self. With others. With the greater pattern that is Life.
I wake up this morning feeling a bit disturbed. A bit jumpy. Nothing in particular. But, also, I think, wanting and needing to feel such simplicity and such depth. To feel such practice. To feel the heart of the center.
I’m glad to know these in my heart. I’m glad to know others who also know it in their hearts. And, who practice. And, who invite others to practice. Or who just live in such beautiful ways.
Perhaps underneath so much of the complexity of humanness lays such simple things. I find that inspiring.
And with ample room to meet ourselves and each other in, well, becoming ways — kind ways, conscious ways, and flowing with Life ways.
